  "account": "On Monday, the hosts of \"The View\" expressed amusement at Kelly Clarkson's online altercation with a Brooklyn toy store over a $15,000 bird. Sunny Hostin, however, deemed it a \"champagne problem\" that should have been handled privately. When Clarkson posted about poor customer service at Art of Play, the store responded, stating the bird was not for sale, and Clarkson followed up with photos of the price tag and sarcasm. Hostin emphasized that while everyone has unfortunate retail experiences, they should be addressed directly with the manager rather than on social media, as it carries significant weight and can harm small businesses. Both Hostin and Ana Navarro cautioned against posting on social media when frustrated, citing the power imbalance and potential harm to employees. Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin agreed that while initial posts were reasonable, the back-and-forth turned the situation \"reductive\" without finding a solution.",
